The Richfield Reaper was created in 1885.
the theme of the Reaper's Image story is: you can't escape death
As far as I know, the reaper was demonstrated in tests in 1831 and was patented by McCormick in 1834.
McCormick did NOT invent the reaper. McCormick bought the patent from the man that actually invented it. I have proof to back this up. There is a news paper article and solid silver cup with the inventor's name and date the reaper was built.
Testing
Cyrus McCormick was actually the co-inventor of the reaper. The other inventor was Jo Anderson. Jo Anderson was a slave and if often not credited for co-inventing the reaper with Cryrus McCormick (a white man). As for WHEN they did this, sometime between 1800-1830.
